Tenant Screening Ohio

Kevin Waymire
Posted

Hello Everyone!

What is everyone doing to screen tenants for apartment complexes? Its in Cincinnati Ohio. 

Anything other than criminal background checks, credit checks, eviction and court records, employment history and rental histories. 

Thank you!

I check my tenant's social media first after our initial phone interview.  I ask for prospective tenant's full name during our phone interview, reason why is, some people use their middle name on their social media accounts.  As soon as we hang up I check all their social media accounts.  I've only had a handful of instances where the prospective tenant either doesn't have social media or I simply couldn't find their accounts.  Once you see their photos you'll get a solid glimpse into what type of lifestyle they live aka how they'll treat your rental.  When I see photos of the prospective tenant traveling all over on their Instagram and they meet all of my other criteria, you have hit the tenant jackpot.  They are paying you rent and not even living in the rental half the time.   Best of luck.
